Religion

Religion throughout the world has been a main part of most peoples lives. It goes back in time where religion was just your way of life. It was your way of surviving and if you were excommunicated then you were pretty much just left to die. There are so many various religions in which people have different views and beliefs. Some people are judged upon based on religion and I don't think that's right; you believe what you want and ill believe what I want. Everyone's entitled to freedom of  religion.

All around the world religion is debated. In Italy there was an issue of an Italian law requiring crucifixes in public classrooms and whether or not it would violate a clause of the European Convention On Human Rights. This was answered no because it is said that the crucifix is not a religious symbol.  

Religion can be violent as well because religion is one of the best ways to show differences in peoples opinions and view as well as portions of their lives. In MAZAR-I-SHARIF, Afghanistan 3 angry mullahs sought avenge because there was a burning of a Koran at a Florida church. They sought avenge by gathering thousands of protesters to overrun the compound of the UN in the north Afghan city in which cost the lives of 12 people. Some people would die for their religion but others such as 4 guards who were killed in this protest because they were there just in case there were to be any fights.

I believe everyone should do what they want because they're happy about it. There has been many judgmental, violent, and crucial moments because of religion. For example the Holocaust in which caused the death of thousands of Jews. The first amendment specifically states there is freedom of religion and I don't think that anyone should be judged based on their religion because just like you, you have your own opinion and choice as to which religion you want to be apart of or the choice of not having one.
